Post Training Meal for BJJ: Chicken with Brown Rice Pasta

This is a Great Post Training Meal for BJJ

Not sure if this is useful or interesting to everyone, but this is how I generally cook for myself.  I’m a single guy who lives alone.  Cooking for myself every day is… depressing.  But, eating out constantly is not affordable advisable either.  So, I cook in bulk instead.  This recipe here is what I’d consider to be a good post training meal after bjj training or post weight resistance training (do you even lift, bro?).

I consider this to be a good post training meal recipe because:

1. It’s simple.
2. Enough calories & macronutrients to facilitate the recovery process.
3. Pretty filling.
4. Tastes many bombs.
5. I can use this for 4 meals post training.

I know a lot of my teammates struggle to find good post training meals.  Some of them may know what a good post training meal is, but simply don’t have the time.  So, I figured I would contribute to my teammates as well as the bjj community abroad.  Here is just one example of what I do to have a good post training meal.

Notes

Like I said, I would consider this a good post training meal. I like to have variety, so I'll make this once every two months or so since I'll eat this for a week post training. Usually, I eat a fruit immediately following training. Then, when I get home, I'd have a meal like this after showering and what not. This was a recipe that I stole adapted from Micheal Kory. You guys should follow him, he makes some gangster food. Really though.
